Both bathrooms were basically unusable (extremely gross), and the house was from a hoarder so it was pretty gross in almost every room.

The problem is, eventually, we need to invest about $60K to do a new driveway, the rest of the windows, siding, and 2 bathrooms when the plumbing fails (house built in 1915).

Place is a 3/1.5 built in the early 1900's. has updated funace, hot water heater, 100amp panel (looks like a small bit of knob and tube was left in), new carpet downstair.Roof needs to be looked at since their was a leak (seller said it was fixed but I don't think I trust his maintnace guys), some small issues with brickwork I will be getting a estimate on later in the week. figure about $1500 for roof work and flashing fix and another $1500 for the brick work (mostly some re pointing a small area and a couple little things)Now the place needs:New kitchen(small)- tile floor (have the 18'x18' travertine that IO got for a steal), cabinets, countertop, appliances, lights ($6K)New half bath-tile floor, vanity, toilet, lights ($1500)Back stairs re done ($1K~1500)Open stairs to attic and turn in to hatchway and use floor space for closets ($1K~1500)Sub floor repair upstairs (stiffen a bit and fix 1 hole) ($750) Carpet Upstairs (700 sqft) ($1K)Upstairs Bathroom- Tile floor, Tile tub srround, build in tub since it is a corner tub now, toilet, sink, ect ($3K)Paint and some drywall/plaster repair ($4K)Fix 3'x8' second floor deck off Master BR-railing and some clean up ($500)Fence backyard and some landscaping ($3K)Misc $2Kcall it about $27K in rehab to make it nice and well in the top of the comps.I could also do less but was looking at making it shine and moving it quick.I figure I have to get into it at low 60's, Owner owns free and clear.

from msot likely to least likely - a) exterior wood and metal, b) interior wood, c) kitcehn and bathroom walls and ceilings, d) other walls and ceilings.Asbestos is more common in buildings built in the middle 1960s to the middle 1980s, than in older ones, except for the pipe & tank insulation.

You kicked out a tenant of 13 years to improve the bathroom & other rooms?

For example, if it is an up/down set up, the kitchens and bathrooms are likely stacked above/below each other to keep costs down when constructed.

By doing price per sq.ft. you're not taking into account differences in lot size, upgrades, location, views, pool vs no pool, quality of construction, year built, garage space, carport spaces, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, corner lot vs interior lot, etc etc etc.

The most common locations on the older ones are exterior wood & metal, interior wood, and kitchen & bathroom walls & ceilings.
